Who would then rule the nations and all the nuclear superpowers of the world if we do not allow sociopaths to be elected?
Heck, if EVERYBODY underwent that sort of PET scan, what would all the "normal people" become? They would turn into the exception and become the isolated group of "normal persons".

People who handle the truth well do not "handle" it, actually: it's simply that, once they have been force-fed it down their throats by reality, they do not mind geting a little bit or one more chunk of it anymore. They suffer it. They don't fight it anymore.
People think of truth as something agreeing beautifully with what they already firmly believe, while truth is in fact the ugly novelty that nobody expected and wasn't prepared to and which, therefore, are not wiling to accept as truth.

We are all having a bit or much sociopath characters- it's not new/bizzare, there is no absolute sane/righteous person even if they're religious <--thats when you should worry much.

The most dangerous trait frm sociopath is control and lack of remorse to satisfy their ego, and what kind of ego?
There are healthy ego, annoying ego or dark-ego, watch out for the dark one, kick the rest..

Is this the same dude who spanked me?!?!

FEAR, only what is before and a step or two ahead (unless u r Russian, then you can't help but see farther, but sadly not more clearly)
